Con
artist Austin Shaw’s been in disguise so long he’s not sure where his
fake identities end and he begins. Now that he’s been strong-armed into
working for a specialized undercover unit working with the Chicago
police—criminals with unique “skills”—the last thing he needs is to risk
his iron control. Especially when it comes to a certain stunningly sexy
hacker who tempts him with every look of disdain.

Polly
Banks will never, ever trust a con man. On the trail of a ruthless
crook who destroyed the only family she’s ever known, Polly is unnerved
by the shadow who follows her every move. The one who makes her pulse
pound and breath short with lust. Austin. He’s infuriating, enigmatic,
and pure sex appeal, and she’s determined to resist him.

But
an untrustworthy man of disguise can become anyone he wants…including a
man that Polly must trust if she’s to escape their dangerous game
alive.

DON'T MISS THE OTHER BOOKS IN THE SIZZLING CROSSING THE LINE SERIES....

After
a life of pool hustling and living on the wrong side of the law, Ruby
Elliott is living on the straight and narrow with sexy-as-all-hell NYPD
detective, Troy Bennett. Now the only trouble Ruby has with the law is
the naughty kind, pinned against the wall by Troy's strict and
spectacularly hard body. Obeying his every command. Both of them losing
themselves in a lust that borders on obsession...

But
then her father returns with an offer she can’t refuse: one last hustle
in exchange for information. Information she’d die to have. As the
pieces and the players of the game reveal themselves, Troy feels the
fine edges of his control slipping—control he can’t channel without
hurting Ruby. The stakes are high, and the risk higher. Because losing
this final game could cost more than Ruby’s heart…it might cost her
life.

NYPD
detective Seraphia Newsom will avenge her brother’s death at any cost.
Even if it means insinuating herself into a rough, Brooklyn street gang
and going so far undercover, she’s not sure she’ll be able to get out.
Every minute she spends in their midst means the clock ticking down on
her life, especially when she overhears something that could get her
killed.

Bowen
Driscol is the heir to a crime enterprise. He never asked for the job,
but with his father behind bars, he has no choice but to step in and
keep the operation running. But when the NYPD blackmails him with a
piece of damning information in exchange for aiding an undercover cop,
he finds himself on the other side of the law for the first time in his
life.

Bowen
knows the danger Sera is in, and keeping her safe trumps saving his own
ass. The problem? She can’t know he’s on her side. And there's the
matter of the seriously inconvenient heat sparking between them that's
incinerating his resistance. But Sera only sees Bowen's past, and men
like him are the reason her brother is dead. If they're to get out
alive, he'll have to risk exposing the man beneath, and hope to hell he
doesn't blow the whole operation in the process.

Connor
Bannon is supposed to be dead. Dishonorably discharged from the Navy
SEALs, he's spent the last two years working as a street enforcer in
Brooklyn for his cousin's crime ring. Through a twist of fate, he's now
in Chicago, working undercover to bust criminals. But when a cute little
arsonist joins the team—all combat boots, tiny jean shorts, and
hot-pink hair—Connor’s notorious iron control slips.

Erin
"she's getting away" O'Dea knows two things. She hates authority. And…
Nope, that's it. When she's forced to operate on the “right” side of the
law, her fear of being confined and controlled blazes to the surface.
The last thing she expects is a control freak like Connor to soothe her
when she needs it most. Worse, something behind the sexy ex-soldier's
eyes ignites a dangerous inferno of desire. One that invites Erin to
play with fire. And one that could get them both killed…

ABOUT TESSA BAILEY

Tessa
Bailey is originally from Carlsbad, California. The day after high
school graduation, she packed her yearbook, ripped jeans and laptop,
driving cross-country to New York City in under four days.

Her
most valuable life experiences were learned thereafter while
waitressing at K-Dees, a Manhattan pub owned by her uncle. Inside those
four walls, she met her husband, best friend and discovered the magic of
classic rock, managing to put herself through Kingsborough Community
College and the English program at Pace University at the same time.
Several stunted attempts to enter the work force as a journalist
followed, but romance writing continued to demand her attention.

She
now lives in Long Island, New York with her husband of eight years and
four-year-old daughter. Although she is severely sleep-deprived, she is
incredibly happy to be living her dream of writing about people falling
in love.
